Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites

I’m a total sucker for Italian food, especially pasta.A few weeks ago I spotted something new and intriguing in the boxed meals section at the grocery store- Romano's Macaroni Grill Restaurant Favorites dinner kits. Since these are new, I knew that I could plan on some coupons and promotions for them, so I made a mental note to watch for a deal so I could justify trying one of them. As luck would have it, I received a coupon for in the mail a few days later, so I decided to go for it, even though I think most boxed dinner kits end up tasting way too salty. I also found an online coupon for $1.00 off, so I picked up 2 dinner kits.

Last night I made the Creamy Basil flavor and it was SOOOO good! I honestly thought it tasted great!It wasn’t too salty, and most importantly it was so easy to make.I’m already giddy to try the Chicken Marsala with Linguine!The kit made quite a bit of pasta, so it ended up being a very cheap, quick, and delicious dinner.Click hereto print the $1.00 off coupon so you can try one yourself (if you hit the back button after the first coupon prints, it will print again!).

Update: Kory and I tried the Chicken Marsala tonight and it was horrible! Neither of us liked it AT ALL. We ended up throwing most of it away. So, the verdict is 2 thumbs up for the Creamy Basil and 2 thumbs WAY DOWN for the Chicken Marsala.

I bought them about a month ago, because I love Macaroni Grill, but I have not tried them yet. So I will definitely try cook the alfredo this weekend and perhaps give the marsala a try since I already bought it. I may have to spice it up a little:)

thank you so much for reviewing this and for the tips on the horrible one...I will stay away from that one then! (good thing I went with the linguine, I am making that tomorrow night and have been wondering...)
